Mkhize on the agenda at ANC Integrity Commission meeting
So far, Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has avoided answering questions by MPs on the Digital Vibes contract
The African National Congress (ANC) Integrity Commission is expected to meet on Saturday, June 5, 2021, during which it will discuss Health Minister Zweli Mkhize’s alleged role in the Digital Vibes tender.
It isn’t clear whether Mkhize, who’s a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC), the party’s highest decision-making body, will be present at the sitting.
He has already managed to avoid explaining himself before Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Health – having snubbed the proceedings, apparently citing legal advice on the matter. If this is anything to go by, Mkhize could once again opt to not speak.
The Health Minister and his DG refuse to shed more light on the Digital Vibes tender investigation, claiming they've been advised not to comment on the matter.
